BBC World Service - BBC OS, Pope Francis in Iraq

We hear from people in Iraq about the first ever papal visit to the country

We hear from people in Iraq after the first ever papal visit to the country.   On his first international trip since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Pope Francis has called for an end to violence and extremism in Iraq.  

We'll continue to answer all your questions about coronavirus with the help of Dr Megan Murray from Harvard University.  

And we'll also hear a conversation about bereavement with people who tragically lost a loved one to Covid-19 in Bangladesh, Sweden and USA.
